Neighborhood architect Craig Reynolds and his firm — Brown Reynolds Watford Architects Inc. — are responsible for design of the new Trinity River Audubon Center, a 120-acre site that once was home to a garbage dump. The center is the subject of a DMN story that details the eco-friendly design and construction (for example, shredded blue jeans used for insulation, exterior concrete tinted slightly green to better blend with the environment) of the center, which is scheduled to open in the fall. This project has been on the books since the original Trinity referendum, and it’s good to see progress evident on at least one Trinity project now. The center is located in southern Dallas off Loop 12, and perhaps the best news is that the DMN story says 51 DISD schools are located within five miles of the center, so more than 38,000 students will have the opportunity to explore nature in a unique way as part of the center’s programming.
